Shocking that we made it over 20 posts in before somebody typed that. Usually it's the second or third post anytime someone asks for legitimate help with this issue. As far as shutting off the chime, I use a strapless seatbelt extender from Amazon. Note that you can buy with with extension...

Fumoto F106N for the win. No need for additional moving parts that could leak or fail over time. Buy the optional tube, drain directly into the pan, done in no time. The sway bar is not in the way and is not a problem. If I ever meet the guy who picked the oil filter location I'm going to...

And THIS is exactly what people need to be writing Stellantis and telling them. Ford and GM offer choice. Ram/Dodge/Jeep going forward won't. That's going to be a problem.

If you start looking back farther, 5W30 was in the manuals in the past. Then 5W20, then 0W20....with NO changes to the engine whatsoever, only changes to environmental law. Hmmm..... So there's what works best for the consumer (5W30/5W40) and then there's what works best for the automaker...

Had the axle fluid ever been changed with 58k on the clock? I always pull the inspection cover and clean the metal off the magnet at around 15k and you'd be surprised how dirty the fluid already is. It's twice as bad on the Jeep pickups, something about the new Dana AdvanTek axles likes to...

I do. I don't think it's necessary at 1,000 miles. But I certainly DO NOT go 10,000 miles ever, especially for the very first one. Usually I dump the factory fill water oil at around 4,000ish and refill with quality oil of an appropriate viscosity for a V8 that works hard in a 5,600 lb...

I can't remember which brand my buddy bought, but the quality was horrible. First set arrived damaged. Second set arrived damaged. And the material used is thicker than OE so they're a real PITA to install. I ended up just buying the OE liners for the rear. Got an excellent deal on them...

Laugh if you want. Don't really care. I won't be paying for your lifter/cam issues. I find it amusing that the engine hasn't changed AT ALL since 2009, but the oil spec has been changed at least three times if not four in the owners manuals over the years, and guys will still believe that the...

People switched TO the 0W20 water oil and the valvetrain got quiet? No, that's got to be backward. It's the exact opposite. The thicker viscosity "sticks" to the cam lobes and valvetrain much better and heavily reduces wear. I for one will never go back. There are countless threads...

Didn't they remove the center muffler a few years ago? My truck only had the large muffler at the rear axle and then two small resonators. I was told that a few years ago there was a 4th muffler located upstream, just after the catalytic converters, sort of directly under the front passenger seat.

I disagree. On a cold start with the sensor behind the radiator you get perfect readings immediately, which means your climate system knows what to do immediately. Very few people sit in an idling vehicle for an hour. So the sensor is accurate more of the time in this location. No affect...

There are tons of threads on this. You have to drive the truck down the road for at least 5-10 minutes. That will give the sensor time to acclimate to ambient temp with wind flowing over the sensor. Once they moved the sensor to the driver side mirror this became a problem. It gets sun...

I was reading a threat on this earlier today and can't find it now. I think the ATF fluid to use is called Amsoil OE Efficient or something along those lines.

What you speak of is called the "FAD" for Front Axle Disconnect. Yes, it locks the front differential when ANY 4x4 range is selected and it stays locked the entire time the truck is in any 4x4 mode. The center differential inside the transfer case is a totally separate item. It has a clutch...

Also note that if you have the 4Auto setting your truck will not lock the front and rear together regardless of mode. ALL modes use the clutch system. It simply applies more pressure when in 4High or Low....but it will still slip and/or overheat if you really push the truck in off-road...

Now that it's summer and ambient temps are commonly 90F, a guy could basically check the level as soon as the fluid is poured in. No need to let the vehicle run for any length of time at all. It makes things much much easier. In the dead of winter you'd have to wait quite a while to get to...

These threads are always a hornet nest. Truth is LED bulbs are AMAZING upgrades IF and ONLY IF you buy quality from a vendor like Headlight Revolution. If you buy cheap junk off Amazon or fleaBay you will have glare, poor beam patterns, insufficient heatsinks, diodes that aren't located...

Any progress?

I've had both, and I'd take UC4 any day of the week. UC5 S U C K S. Buggy, slow, complicated. It's one of the things I hate about my 2022.

So let me get this straight.... Ford took the V8 out of the Raptor and replaced it with a turbo-6. Fans immediately started to complain. Ram then releases a direct competitor to the Raptor with V8 power and steals a TON of Raptor sales. Ford reluctantly then responds by dropping a new Raptor...
